The opportunity to create a genuine connection with someone starts with an automatic scan by the brain. Once that is done, then the brain can start receiving information - for keeps.- Ever wondered WHY you might not remember names the first time around?- Or, wondered why you try to have a conversation with someone but.it.is.just.so.difficult?

+Joel Dawson, a sales coach, specializes in nonverbal communication AND boy oh boy do +Jessica Dewell and +Scott Scowcroft have some questions to dig into non-verbal communication (and well, you know we’re going to ask Joel about how that applies to our digital and video communication!)

When we think of SEO and SEM and all the optimization knowledge necessary to stake our claim in the vast internet universe, we can’t forget the people that will be watching the video. When using Youtube each little detail of setting up a channel and each video is additive.

+Sheryl Loch not only gets the additive value of each little step, her work creating videos and managing Youtube channels allowed her to discover trends in what people will watch...or not.

And, +Debi Davis is a true digital strategist. Her insight in ways to use video across different channels in multiple ways to reinforce marketing messages leveraging your time (and your audience’s time).

Our very own +Scott Scowcroft purposes video for business to leverage their message by adding another layer to connecting with people - through video.

Combining the knowledge of these two individuals, +Jessica Dewell has a big job to do - keep us on track. On track for what? Focused on how the interplay of message, actual video, and additive optimization to create a foundation to build an effective video platform that stands strong on its own and supports an overall communication strategy.

For example, those surviving a serious medical diagnosis or living with chronic conditions often must work harder just to keep up and even harder yet to get ahead. Joining us in the filmstrip this week to help flesh out how one can "Overcome Adversity" are three individuals who have done just that.

Because of a skiing accident several years ago, +William Rock now lives with CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome) and Fibromyalgia, both painful conditions for which there is no cure. +roxanne davenport is founder of the GPlus , "SEIZEure the Day! Epilepsy Support" community, and works to raise epilepsy awareness. Rounding out the panel is e-patient advocate +Mighty Casey self proclaimed cancer warrior and "Chief Message Officer, brand storyteller, e-patient comedian, writer, speaker."

They all have somehow found the determination, self compassion and courage to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and soldier on despite repeated challenges and disappointments.

A sign on the desk of President Harry Truman read: “The buck stops here.”

When we decide to make a change, even one small change, ripples reach out and affect other parts of our life. It’s amazing how our actions do radiate into every part of our existence. When we don’t address the seemingly little or just annoying repercussions … they build up and force our attention. And what happens next is far from magical. We give into the resistance and all our energy goes into holding things together until we just don’t anymore. Or, we can take a close look and address them and keep the energy flowing and propelling us forward.

As a business coach, she’s adept finding the excuses and providing support while they are tackled. We can have the energy of what the New Year brings us any time we want it.

+Peter Kennedy thanks for the comment. Sometimes we have to hear it in our own time (even when we've heard it before). And ... some of us might not have heard it before at all ... depending on where they are in their life journey.

When you last found yourself with an extra 15 minutes, ok, let’s be real, what do you do with an extra 5 minutes? Do you think:- About what you have to do the rest of the day and week?- What could have been different?- What was awesome about events that just happened?- Something else?

How do personality types fit into this? Directly, indirectly? Maybe it’s all nature vs. nurture? +Jessica Dewell and +Scott Scowcroft host an insightful and fun conversation that may take a few twists and turns.

Turns out, selfish causes a spectrum of wildly strong emotions. Yet, when each layer is stripped away we’re left with something like this:

“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessity.” - Mandy Hale

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. While technology distractions come to mind, there are other distractions that easily take precious time away from what fuels happiness and satisfaction. Whether through automation, choosing to burn the candle at both ends, nothing, or everything … each action is a choice. Each choice has a consequence. And...

Selfish is not a 4-Letter WordWhich is a chapter in +Kate Bowyer's Book How I Quit Email and Followed My Dreams.

Full disclosure: even actively working on this, as I write it a story tries to pop up and divert my attention. (And that makes me even more excited to keep the conversation going!)

It seems such an incongruity, doesn't it. Are not the holidays a time for joy, celebration and merriment? Is not death a time of darkness, despair, even fear?

According to this week's very special guest +Myste Lyn in the grief for the loss of a loved one, we can turn away from the materialism and fluff of everyday life and take that deep dive into self reflection, forgiveness and healing. It can be a time to re-calibrate our internal compass and if needed set a life’s mid-course correction. From this can arise gratitude and hope, even in the shadow of the untimely or tragic death of another.

And if we're very very good at finding the hidden blessings of our grief, there's a chance we'll be able to face own death with grace and courage. And that is perhaps the greatest blessing we can give for those we leave behind. It all starts with our relationship with grief.

+Myste Lyn's tagline is, "Bringing death out of the closet." She serves as a heart centered entrepreneur and women's empowerment coach who has taken on the mission of educating the global community about alternatives to the dark clouds and taboos that have traditionally surrounded death and loss.
